Save water people. Piss in the shower. University students are being urged to urinate in the shower in a bid to save water. The Go with the Flow campaign is the brainchild of students Debs Torr and Chris Dobson, from the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich. They want the university's 15,000 students to take their first wee of the day while having their morning shower. Mr Dobson, 20, said the idea could "save enough water to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool 26 times". http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-norfolk-29552557

If water is in such short supply, why don't they go after those bastard fishermen? They wouldn't need any if they just put wheels on.

I saw this and immediately thought of this thread: http://samkriss.wordpress.com/2014/10/08/gently caress-stephen-fry-towards-a-new-theory-of-ghosts/ quote:Stephen Fry is utterly (but sadly not uniquely) awful. He represents an insidious brand of unbearable bourgeois smugness: knowledge of useless facts and a fetishistic fondness for gin reconfigured as the instruments of class power. In Stephen Fry’s utopia, those nasty estates full of yobbos would all be bulldozed (if possible with the residents still inside) so lots of bunting can be hung on the wreckage and everything can go back to being simply lovely again. Anyone unaware of what a cummerbund is, or unable to identify which red wines go with a nice Brillat-Savarin (sirens blare! trick question! It’s none of them; the saltiness of the cheese is best paired with a malty pale ale) would be shot against a wall behind the National Gallery and have their remains carted off to fertilise a charming wooded dell full of flowers. He might have lots of little facts in that fleshy bulbous head of his – and might try to convince us that this makes him very clever rather than, say, a human filing cabinet – but this knowledge is never actualised in the form of a critique of anything. Whenever anything like critique emerges, it’s always predictably myopic. As his various pronouncements have shown, Stephen Fry can’t understand religious faith, or why some people might find hate speech offensive, or the basic concept of informed sexual consent. He’s an idiot, and one who marches at the head of a long column of idiots, all fanatically devoted to him. Local pub quiz champions, pipe smokers, grown adults who say ‘poo’. Never mind Hallowe’en: the ghouls already walk among us, every day of the year.

lol yeah Stephen Fry is a walking repository of facts and doesn't have a producer and director talking in his ear all through QI, it all comes off the top of his head there's no researchers or anything.

Like, you can have the water running for less than two minutes and still get completely clean.

It might not be biologically necessary to shower each day, but in terms of keeping your job and/or social life - you probably want to keep showering.

Christ, you people genuinely do not know you've been born. I used to do field archaeology as a job, which contra Time Team is frequently extremely hard labour (think navvying only careful). It was rare when there was even the possibility of a shower every day, once a week was more likely. Strangely, none of us every died of 'dirtiness'. Arguably we were fitter than most and happily drank, hosed and partied in fields with no ill effect from our filth when not actually doing the work. (We also pissed in the undergrowth and on some sites (the horror, the horror!) poo poo in the woods (NB:There is a trick to this that does not involve the little paper nest of the shite-bird with its unpleasant eggs. See here.) All of your ancestors, without exception did similar - why are you so ashamed of your past?

Life expectancy before the modern age is heavily skewed downwards due to the massive rate of infant mortality. If you lived past 5 you could easily expect to live to be 50 or older. A lovely 50 years of malnutrition, illiteracy and hard labour, but 50 years.
